What We Both Want

If I was a good person, I'd never have used this power.

I'm not here to defend myself, to justify my actions. I'm not telling this story for you to like me. I'm telling this story for the same reason that I did most of what I did. Because it was what I wanted. Because it turned me on.

I'm telling you this story because it's going to make some of those under my control embarrassed and ashamed. They like that, now. Because I like that. And if it turns you on to read, well, a couple I know will be happy to hear that, too.

I can't tell you the first time I sensed this power. I know I was in my sophomore year of college by the time I was sure there was something different about me. What followed was a long period of thorough exploration, and then a change in major. Discovering you have a supernatural power tends to shake up life choices.

I have plenty of stories from back then, and maybe one day I’ll tell you about them. But for now, what’s important is the what, and the how.

People are more likely to obey me. But it goes deeper than that. They want to obey me. They want to please me.

There are a lot of factors that can make this effect stronger.

1. How well do I know them?
2. Do they like me? Are they attracted to me?
3. Do I have authority or power over them, professionally, personally?
4. How sexual is the request? How turned on are they?
5. Are they used to obeying me?

There’s one more layer to my power. The more I have someone do something, or do it to them, the more they like it. In practice, I can turn almost anything into a person’s favorite kink.

The last thing you need to know is that I can turn this power off. It was the hardest thing to figure out, and avoiding it consistently still takes conscious effort. But I’d managed it.

For eight years, I’d managed it. I swore to myself I’d never use my power again. My story starts the day I broke my promise.
